Programs

Health education comes alive in our five spacious theaters. Participants are able to see and hear larger-than-life electronic displays, audio-visual presentations, and explore interactive models. The multi-sensory input experience of our classrooms not only improves retention, but it does it in an exciting and unique way. Consider our classrooms a resource available for your students in central Illinois and an interesting experience with few facilities like it in the Midwest.
